Please join us for a two-part series of events on June 18th and August 5th as we explore the growing trend of using social media in a service setting. “How SOCIAL is Your Service”will cover in Part I, “The Risks and Rewards,”and in — Part II, “Best Practices to Adopt and Worst Practices to Avoid.”

Part I: How SOCIAL is Your ServiceRisks and rewards of using social medial as a service medium

There’s a lot of buzz around using social media to add a value to your service strategy, but it is not risk free. Did you know that in some cases “connecting” with a client on a social media site can destroy the confidential nature of your customer base? Are your web-based customer contacts trade secrets? How much risk are you willing to take as an organization? Are you even aware of the risks? What are the rewards?

We have a panel of experts presenting information on the use of social media specific to services in a unique way and invite you to participate in this event.

I Wish I Would’ve Asked That is inspired by those final 15 minutes of every conference talk that ever was — so many questions, so little time.

We’re flipping the model. I Wish I Would’ve Asked That is an evening dedicated to your questions and the issues you care about — from creativity to business to Instrument, our industry and more. No softballs. No show-offs. No guy in the back you can’t hear. Just real talk about the things you want to know.

Join executives from regional breweries and wineries as well as technology companies for a panel discussion exploring ways the region’s technology industry is fueling growth and innovation in Oregon’s beer and wine industries. We will conclude with a discussion on opportunities for future collaboration between these industries. Before the panel discussion we hope you will join us for networking, appetizers, and beer on Full Sail Brew Pub’s expansive deck overlooking the Columbia River Gorge.

What’s Startup Weekend?

Startup Weekend’s a 54-hour event where aspiring entrepreneurs, developers, designers, marketers, product managers, and entrepreneurs of all abilities come together to share startup ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups. Essentially, it’s a crash course in entrepreneurship that lets you experience what it’s really like to build and launch a startup.

Whether you have an idea for a new mobile app that will make your life easier or just want to learn more about entrepreneurship, we encourage you to attend.

Why? The statistics are clear, people with disabilities are not only less likely to be employed, but also less likely to pursue entrepreneurship. We hope that Startup Weekend Access will ignite your entrepreneurial spark!
